“We’re in a very different situation with monkeypox. It’s a very different disease, a very different virus than SARS-CoV-2. With monkeypox we are standing on the shoulders of decades of research that has happened here at the CDC. We had a test for it that was already approved and we launched that test. We were able to do, immediately 6,000 tests throughout the country per week…and now we’re up to about 70,000 tests that we’re able to do in the country per week.”- Rochelle P. Walensky, MD
